ACCIDENT MANIA A

DISEASE.

Traffic policemen will have a (choico of sanding reckless drivors to jail or to a medical clinic, if recommendations made to Score- tary Hoover's Highway Safety Commission by its Accident Com mittee are adopted at the Nation- a! Traffic Conference next winter. "Accident mania" is the disease from which many motor- ists are suffering, according to In- vostigations conducted through- out the country. Hundreds of drivers who are hauled into the court now and fined ought to be taken to a clinic and examined for the presenco of physical and montal ailments which handicap them and make them prone to smushups.

Psychologists and physicians should play a large part in the disciplining and training of rack-. less drivers, in the opinion of the Accident Committee.

Under this system, a prolimin- ary questioning of the particip- ante in a collision, for instance, would be staged upon the scone of the accident. If either of the parties to the affair betrayed the symptoms perceptible to all pay chiatrists, he would be slated for [further examination at the clinic..

If he wore found to be suffering from any mental or physical trouble he would be treated, in- stead of fined or sent to jail. Revocation of his licer so would follow should it prove the disease was incurable. In many cases, it has been disclosed, drivers are running cars unaware that they possess within themselves the gorms of an accident.
